Pion production in neutrino-nucleus collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-10-17 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We compare our pion production results with recent MiniBooNE data measured in mineral oil. Our total cross sections lie below experimental data for neutrino energies above 1 GeV. Differential cross sections show our model produces too few high energy pions in the forward direction as compared to data. The agreement with experiment improves by artificially removing pion final state interaction.
